Cheap Flights to Kinnelon from HK$1,157

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Kinnelon holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Kinnelon quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
